Hi,

Please try to set:
prom_env_machargs = "-v" (This will give you verbose booting. You can see whether there are bootable partitions on your disk).
And set the dvd image on ide0 master and the hard disk on ide0 slave.

Which version of pearpc are you running? Some did have problems reading dvd's and would only work with the 4 set CD version of 10.4 for PPC.

ok, i set the -v and switched the file paths for the hdd and the dvd image in the cfg file. it still seems to spin at the apple logo (see attached pictures) i still get the same results. it jsut seems to sit, spinning at that logo

im looking for a 4 disk iso now to try that. is there a way to switch the cds from teh 4-cd set once the emulator is running?

Is that a dmg you are using? If so, you should convert it to iso !
Use dmg2iso and convert the image. See here: http://www.sysprobs.com/convert-mac-dmg-iso-windows

Changing CDs is done by only installing the bare minimum system, then starting from the HD image while adding the next CD as slave.
